When using canned chicken broth, you can refrigerate the leftovers right in the can-don't waste a container. Cover with plastic wrap and store for up to 3 days.

Italian Chocolate Cookies

If you're out of walnuts, you can either omit the nuts altogether and save the money, or substitute less expensive pecan pieces. Using peanuts is even thriftier, and will yield a rocky-road-type cookie.
